It was quite hard to locate a full size gig bag with superior padding. The one I have is called Active, and doesn t have wheels (which I didn t want anyway ) so is extremely light. I was amazed at this. It is very comfortable to carry, has extra hip straps, and feels good. I haven t carried it for miles yet, but was pleased with the feel and the comfort for shorter journeys. It dealt well with atrocious weather conditions yesterday, though I decided to wipe it down with a towel when I got home (I suspect love, rather than necessity!) The strap on the front is very useful for putting it in the boot. I was pleased that there seems to be extra strengthening around the bow compartment.
